Sarah Bonnell School is one of the oldest girl's schools in England, as it was unusual for benefactors to view girls' education as important in the 18th century. Sarah Bonnell School is a wonderful girls school where achievement and well-being are at the center of everything we do. The school has a great track record for teaching girls innovatively and engagingly and this has an impressive impact on achievement. Our motto, which was developed by the students, explains these values and gives important guidance for all members of the school community to follow: Be Proud. Aim High. Work Hard. Be Nice. No Excuses. As a result, Sarah Bonnell School is buzzing with positive attitudes and behavior and is a place where staff inspires and supports all girls to be the best that they can be. At Sarah Bonnell, we feel it is important to keep our students and their parents well informed. We have, therefore, constructed this section with useful information about our school, which we believe will be beneficial to everyone. Our school facilities are exceptional with well-resourced classrooms that motivate and support students and staff. This year we are beginning another exciting building project to ensure even better provision for all students. Our vision is to provide a happy, caring, vibrant and stimulating environment where all students will recognize and be given opportunities to maximize their potential – academically, spiritually, and socially - and ensure that they are well equipped to meet the challenges of education, work, and life. At Sarah Bonnell we believe: That education is a force for positive change within and beyond the community. All students have a right to quality education. That every student can succeed regardless of their starting point. In valuing all members of our community for their contribution. In respect for others and personal self-esteem. At Sarah Bonnell, we aim to be a center of all-around educational excellence serving the whole community and developing the potential of every student through a curriculum that is accessible, broad, diverse, and challenging. We promote a culture in our school of valuing and respecting each other and the environment in which we live. We will provide both within and beyond the school day learning experiences that are constantly challenging and rewarding. The opportunity and the right to learn and succeed in a safe, stimulating, and caring environment will be provided for all students and all staff. We will promote personalized learning and encourage a habit of life–long learning and help every individual to mature into an active, considerate, informed, and responsible citizen. We believe that working in a mutually supportive and effective partnership with students, teachers, parents/carers and the wider community is the key to making a difference in young peoples’ lives. The School will undertake regular curriculum monitoring, review, and evaluation of all learning opportunities to ensure continual improvement and success for all. View full school
